Among athletes, Staphylococcus aureus is thought to be transmitted by close physical contact with carriers. Nevertheless, evidence is limited with regard to both the tracking of individual strains and the role of S. aureus on the skin's surface. We investigated its transmission using molecular genotyping and the presence of S. aureus on the skin during exercise. In the first study, nasal sample...

radiation therapy is considered as one of the main methods in cancer treatment. in this method, determination of exact location and geometric properties of tumor is necessary for treatment planning that leads to increased accuracy and output of treatment and reduction of healthy tissue dose. for this purpose, the aim of the present study has been physiological transmission of gallium as a pharm...

background nasal carriage of staphylococcus aureus is a substantial source of human infections. detection and treatment of nasal carriage in children with methicillin-resistant and multidrug resistant s. aureus (mrsa and mdrsa, respectively) may be an important modality in prevention of infections. objectives this study determined the prevalence, antibiotic resistance patterns and risk factors ...

purpose: to recognize affective factors in delivering x-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   materials and methods: since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). x-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   results: radio...

This paper highlights ionic fluxes as information carriers in neurons. The theoretical framework regarding information transfer is presented as changes in the thermodynamic entropy that underlie specific computations determined by ionic flow. The removal or accumulation of information is analysed in terms of ionic mass transfer related with changes in Shannon information entropy. Specifically, ...

This review is devoted to pharmacological applications of principles of release from capsules to overcome the membrane barrier. Many of these principles were developed in the context of polymeric multilayer capsule membrane modulation, but they are also pertinent to liposomes, polymersomes, capsosomes, particles, emulsion-based carriers and other carriers. We look at these methods from the phys...

in this research at the first enalapril drug and its fullerene derivative were optimized. nbo calculations and nmr for the complexes were carried out at the b3lyp/6-31g* quantum chemistry level. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount of chemical shift in different atoms, the amount of homo/lumo, chemical potential (µ ), chemical hardness (η), the coefficients of hybrid bonds (π,...

background : staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) is one of the major virulence factors of hospital and community acquired infections. healthcare workers can be the host of s.aureus for many months. and it is very important due to the possibility of transmission to patients. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of s.aureus nasal carriers, the antibiotic susceptibility pattern and ...
